text; un: harls

so I need a job because my shopping addiction is waaaay beyond this stipend thingy

skills include gymnastics, psychiatry, kicking ass and taking names, finding lost things

I figure I could be a great mercenary or bounty hunter or hitwoman but IDK if those things are actual jobs you can get here

dog walker? bartender? I dunno!

any suggestions are welcome!

Interesting. Perhaps it differs between people in how quickly such a thing manifests.

What do you mean exactly? Some kind of concealment? What sort of weapons?

But in regards to powers, no- none that I am aware of as of yet.

...what's this about a bomb in your neck?

Probably, figured they'd be the only kind you cared about.

[Likewise at least she understands when he's joking, pretty sure the Doctor actually thinks Heero's only showered twice since he's been here now. Send help Harley.]

An understandable assumption.

And I am certain they would - granted, it is a fair description of what I have done as a Jedi. The notion of payment just never entered into it.

A possibility. I wonder how documented this sort of matter is.

Well, you'll certainly be handy to have around if we ever find ourselves without firearms.

That sounds rather extreme. Definitely not any better than having a chip in your head "programming" you to follow orders.

You're a smart woman, figure it out.

Uh, yeah??
You've got a fantastic sense of style and you have experience working under pressure. I think you'd do great as a venue designer.
Also, you and I get along super well and we have similar motivations (making tons of money). I think we'd make a fantastic team!

I am against any form of murder, at core - it is part and parcel of being a Jedi. I do not doubt your capabilities, but outside of self-defense, or saving others...

But our task was literally to defend the Republic - we did not have much in terms of possessions, and what costs there were the Republic tended to be happy to handle them.

I would like to see how this ability of yours works. Do these weapons you produce expire after a certain amount of time, or are they permanent?

I am glad to hear you've removed such a thing.
tech_nically: (it's not affecting life support)

[personal profile] tech_nically 2022-09-25 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair enough. It might be worth experimenting with. Dropping them sounds dangerous if they can simply be acquired and used against you by any opposition.

Please do.

In a way. It is sometimes unfortunately necessary - but to be avoided whenever possible.

And the Republic is the government that we, the Jedi Order, protect and aid. It comprises tens of millions of planets, in my time.

did you find something worth doing for extra credits?

[He's not bothering to tell her. Because he's a jerk like that.]

A pay for hire business?

You're welcome, Harley!
First things first: We need that venue.
We could combine a couple of our stipends for a down-payment on a nice lot, or we can focus on materials to like decorations/service contracts with caterers/etc. and then rent a place whenever we get customers.
The first option gives us a permanent place that we can modify into other stuff if this doesn't work out. But, it'll take longer for us to save up for it, or we'll have to work a couple other part-time gigs to save up faster.
The second option requires a bigger gamble on potential business outcomes, with a higher immediate reward if we bet wisely.

What do you think we should do?
